A woman devotee at the Kanaka Durga Temple in Kolkata discovered that an old ticket had been tampered with and sold as a legitimate Srichakra Archana pass for the upcoming Dasara celebrations. She alerted temple officials, who promptly filed a police complaint against those responsible.
The temple’s Executive Officer issued a statement to the public, cautioning devotees that the official online ticket sales for Dasara have not yet started, and urged them to verify any tickets before making payments.
The incident has drawn attention to the prevalence of ticket scams during major religious festivals. Officials are investigating the matter and are working with law enforcement to identify the perpetrators.
